Patent number: 11875059Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system connectable to a host via each of a first bus and a second bus includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller. The controller stores first data that is necessary for responding to a management command for acquiring a status of the memory system in a first volatile memory before causing the memory system to transition to a low power mode. The controller causes the memory system to transition to the low power mode by stopping supply of power to each of components of the controller except for a first interface circuit connected to a first bus, a second interface circuit connected to a second bus, and the first volatile memory, and stopping the supply of power to the nonvolatile memory.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2022Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Kioxia CorporationInventor: Hisashi Otani
